ERIC IN THE LOOP
Building from the in-between
I’m a neurodivergent generative artist and sound designer, using AI as an intentional collaborator to build disco-futuristic worlds, surreal portraiture, and sci-fi terrains.
My work explore the emotional in-between—the tension between joy and grief, connection and rupture, memory and distortion, past and future.
My client work includes environmental graphics, murals, and digital installations within the built environment; and I work with small businesses and other creatives on brand development and ​digital asset creation—without the agency overhead.
DEFINED
​In AI:
Human-in-the-loop describes the people who design, guide, and oversee automated systems.
For me:
It also speaks to the loops we repeat and the stories we tell while we’re trying to change.
The mirror:
AI can distort how we see the world—and ourselves—unless we stay present and accountable.
The choice:
We can participate in how these systems shape our future, or let others decide for us.
Critical questions:
What must we let go of to move forward? What do we need to grieve?
My practice:
Using generative AI as a collaborator, I explore that tension and turn it into images built for real spaces.

PROFESSIONAL JOURNEY
Stage → Alternative Medicine → Strategy + Operations
​Performing Arts
Theatre roots and Butoh dance training taught me how bodies read in space—presence, tension, grief, and connection—now visible in my portrait work and visual storytelling.​
​​
Acupuncture & East Asian medicine
Systems thinking, pattern recognition, and empathy—informing how I listen, problem solve, and adapt to a world that is always evolving.
​
Workplace design strategy
The built environments impact on mood, productivity, and culture, wayfinding, material selection, and project management—skills I now apply to murals, window vinyl, and large-format arts and graphics installations.
